Help on reloading system

[tvanimations1 (vx7v)]

I am new to coding, and decided to use an tutorial to make an simple gun system. The code has been changed to my liking but I have an problem. When ever I reload the gun stops shooting. I don’t know what’s wrong with it.
Here’s the code for the gun:

local gun =  script.Parent
local re = script.Parent:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = nil
local mouse =  nil
local connection =  nil
local kickBack = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Kickback")
local kickTrack = nil
local canShoot = true
local coolDown = .5
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local gunScreenGuiTemplate = script.Parent:WaitForChild("GunScreenGui")
local gunScreenGui = nil
local ammoLbl = nil
local ammo = 6
local maxAmmo = 6
local click = script.Parent.pistol:WaitForChild("Click")
local reloadSnd = script.Parent.pistol:WaitForChild("Reload")
local isReloading = false
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local reloadKey = Enum.KeyCode.R
local reloadAnim = gun:WaitForChild("Reload")
local reloadTrack = nil

local function reload()
	local ammo = 0
	isReloading = true
	reloadSnd:Play()
	reloadTrack:Play()
	wait(reloadTrack.Length)
	ammo = maxAmmo
	ammoLbl.Text = "Ammo: " .. ammo .. "/" .. maxAmmo
	isReloading = false
end


local function makeAmmoGui()
	local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
	gunScreenGui = playerGui:FindFirstChild("GunScreenGui")
	if not gunScreenGui then
		gunScreenGui = gunScreenGuiTemplate:Clone()
		gunScreenGui.Parent = playerGui
	end
	gunScreenGui.Enabled = true
	ammoLbl = gunScreenGui:FindFirstChild("AmmoLbl")
	ammoLbl.Text = "Ammo: " .. ammo .. "/" .. maxAmmo
end

local function onActivated()	
	if canShoot and ammo > 0 then
		canShoot = false
		kickTrack:Play()
		re:FireServer(mouse.Target)
		ammo -= 1
		ammoLbl.Text = "Ammo: " .. ammo .. "/" .. maxAmmo
		wait(coolDown)
		canShoot = true
	elseif ammo <= 0 and not isReloading then
		--click:Play()
		reload()
	end
end

local function onEquipped()
	player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	mouse = player:GetMouse()
	connection = gun.Activated:Connect(onActivated)
	local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	kickTrack = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(kickBack)
	reloadTrack = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(reloadAnim)
	makeAmmoGui()
end

local function onUnequipped()
	player = nil
	mouse = nil
	connection:Disconnect()
	if gunScreenGui then
		gunScreenGui.Enabled = false
	end
end

gun.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
gun.Unequipped:Connect(onUnequipped)
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessFlg)
	if input.KeyCode == reloadKey and ammo ~= maxAmmo and not isReloading then
		reload()
	end
end)

Any help or suggestion’s will be helpful for me.

I’m a novice developer and I don’t know much about scripts, but in my opinion your theme should have the tag “Scripting support” so that you can get help solving your problem faster.

I have suspicions it might be that you are using “Local ammo = 0” in the reload script.

I don’t think you even need to have that line of code at all since ammo is already above the scripts as a variable.

You could use a one in all variable instead of isReloading and canShoot since they have the same purpose. You don’t have any if statements for reload. You may be accidently pressing the key and repeatedly setting the ammo to 0.
